Pyrogen detection – Monocyte activation test
According to the European Pharmacopoeia, endotoxins e.g. lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and other pyrogens can be detected using whole blood assays (MAT: monocyte activation test). This alternative to the rabbit pyrogen test, is useful to validate decontamination procedures during biologics or cosmetics manufacturing for example.
